Lollipop Therapy
Tell me about the day when you were all dressed in white
And the champagne glass burst in my hand
And my tears rained down on your pastel bouquet
As a fiery whisper threw stones at my heart
How could you do something like this
Your smile stabs me once in each lung
But the funny thing is these tears could hydrate me
If you were crying too
I would lap them up like wine, roll around the spaghetti canvas
Throw my blood at the walls,
My head filled with in the cream & starlight
Because when I looked out the window across the city lights
And the glowing cross
I’d know you were somewhere writing for me too
In a dream we were both chained to a ventilator in an outlaw’s grave
Separated by a howling river and the world’s fiery scorn
But when I open my eyes I’m completely naked
I’ve torn off my dress and I’m flailing through
The mud, babbling at your jeweled toes
And then when your irises shoot daggers at my throat
I can pretend that I hate you
But I don’t, I’m just sad
Because the stones have piled
Up on my wings
And they’re crushing by bones
Crushing my lungs
Crushing my heart
